Penny was dumbfounded. “You have some insight, after all.”Harmonia was speechless as well. Penny didn't say anything. She simply pursed her lips as tears rolled down her cheeks.“Who stole my jewelry box? It had mementos from my mother…”As Harmonia was about to walk back, she heard Penny's sobbing words, and she froze in her tracks.It turned out that to Penny, the most important thing wasn't the jewelry box but her mother's mementos.Harmonia walked back to Penny and handed her a tissue.“Who told you I stole your things? Was it Linelle?”Penny looked up and asked in shock, “How did you know?”At that moment, Mac rushed over. Penny hadn't realized it yet, but Mac immediately understood.“Penny, you’re so silly! Haven't you figured it out yet?! Linelle is using you as a pawn!”Mac tapped Penny's head lightly in frustration. Although he wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed, he had enough sense to grasp the situation, but his dear sister not only failed to see through it
She raised her tear-stained face and looked at Mac, expressing her doubts.“Why? Why else? She's not unaware of Mr. Martinez's status as the Fourth Prince of Dairkth or how distinguished and noble he is. Furthermore, Mr. Martinez saved her life. After waiting so long for this great opportunity, of course she would seize the chance to offer herself to him!”“How could she allow a woman uglier than her to appear by the side of the person who saved her life and is blocking her path to becoming the Fourth Princess?”Penny finally understood the situation completely. “No wonder she kept asking me when Mr. Martinez would come and even asked me to ask him several times.”She now realized that any things she hadn't taken seriously before were traps. She had been stepping in them all along, not realizing it and even pouring her heart out to Linelle relentlessly.Penny felt like the dumbest fool in the world. She wiped away her tears, got up, and rushed toward the nanny's house.When Har
“They talk too much, just ignore them.”The woman had a large birthmark on her face, stretching from her forehead to below her right eye, and she gave a friendly smile to Harmonia. Harmonia smiled back and nodded.She hadn't intended to argue nor did she plan to. It was best to keep a low profile here, and conflicts with the villagers were to be avoided at all costs.“They have gossiped about me since I was little, and they've said all sorts of nasty things, but I've gotten used to it. However, none of their husbands are as good-looking as yours. Your husband's appearance surpasses them all, so you're the winner!”Harmonia nodded, “Thank you for comforting me.”“There’s no need to thank me, I’m just speaking my mind.”Harmonia and the woman had a simple chat, and after finishing hanging all the clothes to dry, she was about to leave, but the woman suddenly stopped her.“Oh, by the way, what's your relationship with my aunt?”“Your aunt?” Harmonia was taken aback. She didn't kno
Penny suddenly sat up straight. This sudden movement also caught Hector, who was handing her a piece of tissue, off guard.What was happening? “Do you have a way?” Penny asked as she spoke into her phone.“Seventy percent certainty.”For Penny right now, the most important thing was to retrieve her mother's belongings. Even if it was a long shot, she would agree to it.Now, with a seventy percent certainty, it was not an insignificant percentage. “Okay!” Penny agreed immediately. “I'll open the door now!”She then gestured to Hector in front of her to enter a room on the side and hide.Hector wrote on a piece of paper: ‘Do I need to hide?’Penny nodded vigorously, pressing her phone tightly to prevent any sound from leaking out.‘Will you stop crying if I hide?’ Hector continued writing on the paper.Penny nodded vigorously again. Hector nodded and walked toward the room with pen and paper. After taking a few steps, he turned back to look at Penny, thinking that someone mu
“Keep an eye on it,” Harmonia spoke toward the other end of the line.“Okay!” Penny hurriedly responded.About half an hour later, a seemingly ordinary woman carrying a backpack entered the pawnshop. She handed a ring to the pawnshop owner, asking how much she could get for it. However, before the owner could reply, the door on one side opened, and Penny walked out.“Madam Han?” The woman, upon seeing Penny, was so startled that she turned around to run! But just then, Harmonia entered the pawnshop and closed the door in front of her.She had nowhere to escape now. She was desperate and immediately tried to attack Harmonia. However, to her surprise, Harmonia effortlessly pinned her against the door, immobilizing her completely.For a few seconds, Penny was dumbfounded at the scene before her. “Blossom, are you a bodyguard turned girlfriend?” Penny felt that Harmonia's sharp movements and determined gaze just now were incredibly cool.Harmonia was dumbfounded. She then glanc
Harmonia chuckled and held Penny's hands, then asked her to hold her own ears. “Repeat after me, ‘I'm not listening, I'm not listening, it’s a bastard reciting scriptures.’”Penny listened, giggled, and then loudly recited, “I'm not listening, I'm not listening, it’s a bastard reciting scriptures!”Snowflakes fluttered in the wind. Snow covered her head but couldn't conceal the laughter.Damon and Simon, who were standing behind, gave Harmonia a thumbs-up.Miss Mandel really knew how to handle things. She was truly amazing!Madam Han, who was about to get into the police car, was furious and revealed her true colors, “Penny, you despicable slut! You deserve to die! How could my brother sacrifice his life to save such an ungrateful wretch like you?!”Harmonia suddenly looked toward Madam Han's direction through the swirling snow, and the look in her eyes was particularly cold, and the chilling chill was palpable.Madam Han was intimidated and swallowed nervously.She was taken
He was wearing a long coat and had a slender figure. The night was deep, and they were the only two people on the quiet street.Harmonia wanted to cross the road, but he stopped her. He looked at her, shook his head, and mouthed to her, “Wait for me where you are.”Harmonia understood, so she didn't move and just watched him through the falling snow.He then stepped forward with long strides, determinedly walking toward her.“Why are you here?” She asked.“To take my young lady home.”Before Harmonia could react, he had already opened his coat and pulled her into his arms. Warmth enveloped her, dispelling the cold. Snow fell on their heads...Their figures, one tall and one short, were stretched by the light from the streetlamp.Harmonia's eyelashes trembled slightly as she blushed. The long night should have been cold, and the streets should have been lonely, but at this moment, it was bright and warm.-Back in the small broken house, snow had piled up.Harmonia went to
“Hmm?”He raised an eyebrow, his cold and handsome features softening because of her, and he no longer looked harsh. He took a step forward, holding her cold hands and tucking them inside his coat, pressing them tightly against his waist.He bent down, and his handsome face came closer to hers, his nose touching hers.Harmonia instinctively wanted to step back, but his hand suddenly tightened, pulling her into his embrace.Her cheek hit his sturdy chest, and she listened to his strong heartbeat.Thump, thump, thump—Each beat was knocking on the door of her heart.“I don't understand. Monia, can you explain?” He pretended not to understand, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.She bit her lip, her fair cheeks blushing red.Her eyelashes fluttered, and snowflakes fell.That sweet voice, tender and not cloying, echoed in the silent observation deck. “The snowflakes everywhere are love letters I wrote to you.”Her answer was obvious.In his deep eyes, there was only her fi
